King Charles lands MASSIVE £113,000 Goodwood winner thanks to superstar horse Desert Hero

KING CHARLES was celebrating a massive £113,000 winner after his superstar horse Desert Hero won a big race at Glorious Goodwood.

The three-year-old colt, who Charles co-owns with Queen Camilla, was sent off a relatively unfancied 7-1.

But Desert Hero, who won at June’s Royal Ascot meeting, absolutely tanked through the race and run out a convincing winner.

Tom Marquand, who guided the horse to victory at Ascot, was in the saddle again.

Together, he and the horse have combined to give Charles and Camilla and a whopping £164,960 from their past two runs.

But there could be a much bigger payday lined up for next month with Desert Hero slashed in the market for the St Leger at Doncaster.

Victory in the final Classic of the year will be worth £396,970 to the winner.

Betfair cut Desert Hero from 16-1 to 6-1 for the top class Group 1 – one of the five biggest races of the season.

Neither Charles nor Camilla were at Goodwood to see their horse win.

But they were at Berkshire track Ascot to see him win the King George V Stakes.

Charles appeared to wipe tears from his eyes after the horse left to him by his mum, the late Queen, scored by a head at big odds of 18-1.
